SONG TO THE SABBATH.
The Sabbath day-the gilt divine!
That whatsdt 'er our creed,
Supplies with bounteous beniign
Leisure for every need;
For prayer, for praise, for soothing rest;
For thought of boundles scope,
For heed of Charity's behest,
For love, fur joy, fur hope.
The Sabbath day-the glorious day
Beyond the city Late,
Let tens of thousands wend their way,
Where breeze and sun.hine wait,
And let them see the treamlets flow,
And tread the daisied rod,
And look upon the buds that blow,
And search and find out God.
The Sabbath day-the buckler strung.
That guards the poor and weak,
Shielding the desolate from wrong,
Leaving the tyrant weak.
The Sabbath day-O prize it well,
Its wisdom learn to sean ;
A like in temple. field. or cell,
' The Sabbath made for man."
THE PRINTEE'S LOVE.
We love to see the bloning rose,
In all its beauty dressed.; .
We love to hear our friends disclose
The emutions of the breast.
We love to see the ship arrive
Well laden to our shore; a
We love to see our netighbors thrive, h
And love to bless the poor. L
tt
We love to see dome'stc life
With uninterrupted ys;
We love to see a happy wife
With lots of girls and boys. d
* k
We love all these-yet far above k
All that we ever said,
We love what every printer loves, t
To ha-e subscriptions paid.

kind harted Quaker:
W illiatn S6avery, ati eminent preacher f,
:inng the Quakers, was a tanner by trade e
nd was known by all as " -tne who walked s
nbly with hiis God." One ::ight a qnan0
tit of hides were stole:n from his tannery, h
aiil he had reason to believe that the thief
as a qua:rrelsome. drutnken neighbor, whom a
call J"n Sieiti. 'I'le n:ext week the le
ftlowig advertieent appeared in the
C nuitry newspaper:
- hoever tule a quantity of hides on a
tl,. fiftl of this month, is hereby informed
that the owner has a siicere wish to be his a
jriend. If Poverty tempted him to this fialse te
step, the owner will kewp the whiile transac
tion secret, aid %%ill gladly put him in the way ,
of btaining mnoney by means more likely
to bring him peace atf mind.
This *singular advertisement attracted h
Cosiderable attention ; but thee culprit aloie a
tew wthio had nmade the kiind offer. W1hien
eread it his heart melted within him, atnd r:
ewas filled with sorrowv for what lie had
nlte. A few nights afterwardls, as the ta- Ih
cr's family wvere about returning to rest.
ey heard a timtid knock, and when the
oor was opened there stood Jolt: Smith,
with a load of hides on his shoulders. -
ithout looking up, lie said :" I have broughtt
hese hack, Mr. Savery ; wvhere shall I put c
hem ?".v
"Wait till I catn get a lantern, and I wil_
go to the barn with thee," lie replied, " theen:
perhaps thou wvilt conie in and tell nte heow,
this happened. W~e wvilh see wvhat can he,
done for thee." . . .
As soon: as they were gone out, his wife
prepaed sonie hot coffeec, and placed jeies
ud meat on the tble. When they ret urned
rom the barn, she said :" Neighbor Smith,.
['thought some hot suppier would be good
for thee."(
lie turned his back towards her and did
ot speak. After leatinitg agatinst the fire
place in silence a fe.w moments, lhe said min
aeboked voice: " It is the first time I everi
sttle a::3thing, and I have felt very had,
about it.' I an: sure I didn't once thinek that
Ishould ever comne to what I amt. But It
took to drinikinig, and the:: to quarrelling.
Sine I began to go down hill every body<
gives me a kick. You are the first man tha:t i
has ever offered me a helpitig hand. lgly
wife is sitkly anid my childre:n starvinig. You
ave senit them manty a m'eal. (;od bless 1
you! but yet I stole the hides. But I tell
ou the truth whien I say it is the first time
Iwas ever a thief."
"Let be the last, m:y friend," replied Wil
am Savery. The secret still lies between
ourselves. Thou art still young, and it is it
thy power to make up for leost time. Prom
ise me that thou wilt not drinik any intoxica

thee to-mnorrow on good wages. The littl

heart for the sake of thy w'ife and children:.1
and it will soon hecoime eas~y. ' hien thouI

The poor fellow tried to eat and drink,
hut the food seemed to choke him. After
inly trying to compilose his feeling, he1
bowed Ihis head on the table and wvept like
a child. After a while lie atte and dran:k,

"Alas! I Married too Early."
BY SUKE.
" Alas ! I married too eailv.!" was tht
!laiation of one ut' Eve's fairest daugh

ears. She was but 18, though from her
-are-worn countenance one would thintk her
it least twenty-five. 11er name was Lilly

lamilv, and like most othe'r fair oneS, was
-arly beset by a crowd of admniring sidtrs.
nimong the most favored of these was Hen
y Deane, a gay younrg mn t-m, rash anid
inpetuous. One by one her admirers, meet
rig wihit no encouragement, discontinued
heir visits,. and He-vry became her only
uitor. The courtship had proceeded for
Me year, when Harry met a friend who had
itely been married, and we will detail their
on versation.
Well, James, so you've been getting
iarried."
Yes, and if you would do wisely, do the
aime."
" But am I not too yong ?" said Henry.
" Lnok at rme," said his friend, "1 1 am
our junior by one year, and am a happy
>an."
James escorted Harry to his house, which
'as a perfect model of neatness, in short
larry's impetuous disposition would not
hlow hin to wait that very night ie bent
is steps toward the house of his beloved
,illy and asked her hand. lie was aceep

aree weeks. Harry went horne almost he
tie himself with joy. " Father," said he,
I aimr going to get married." Slowly and
elierately the old man rose, and fixing i's
Cen grey eyes on his son, said, " You ! a

'excellent merchant. Wishing to speak with
her aside for a moment, he told her that he
was aware that she had yielded to a- base
temptation, aid had taken a pair of gloves.
She acknowledgeI her guilt, and would
make any reqrired compensation. But he
would neither take the gloves back, nor take
anv compensation for them. Kindly and
brokter-like. he desired her to keep them as
a warning, hoping that no such temptation
would ever overcome her again. Who could
.have done anything more noble, or more
likely to reform or save from future errors?

New York Times, iii a recent editorial on
the social organization of that city, says:
" Our fashionable society is a shame, from
beginning to end. It is utterly uisound,
depraved, and unnatural-a deceptive piece
of rotten wood, nrade to look shiny with
French polish, and glittering with the phos.
phorescent light of corruption-a copper
cent, trying its very best to look like a fiv.
franc piece, and, what is worse, in nine
cases out of ten succeeding."
That this is a correct description of New
York society, we are assured by persons who
have devoted to it a prolonged investigation.
But in a modified sense it is also true of a
class to lie found everywhere. The great
end of life with our fashionables, is an Epien.
rean enjoyment, niore or less reflned, and
thereforo the whole weight of their example
tends to depreciate the popular morals. In.
stead of the moderatioin, the temperaice. the
self sacrifice, enjoinded byv tie precepts of the
Gospel and the example of Jesus Christ
himself; high bVinig, worlIdly pleasure, ex.
travagance of style and freedom of indulgence
are exhibited as the proper destination of
man.-For these, social amuies are reser
ved. To these, social distinctions are award.
ed. To eneouraige these, a thousand example
of the self-styled great, are operative all
what is there in this si vle of yo.rs, that de
serves to be imitated or even desired by a ra
tional man I It is easier, and therefore far
less creditable, to spend than to gather. We
know that creditors lose, that honest laliorers
remain unpaid, that innocent finnilies are
ruiiined, by the extravgagance of dress and
eqipage and furniture that build up the
motley structure of fashionale greatness.
We have knowi luxury itself to ble used as a
cloak for new&mnpositions ; and one who is
about to fall has enlarged his expenditures,
ambitious, it would abnost seem, of birying
as many fortunes as possible beneath th.
wreeks of his own. And to what societv
can we repair, where we shall not findi style
maignificence of apparel, carelessness of ex
peniditure, nontorionslV adolipted as a shari-per's
trick to seenre some advantageous marriage
or unifair advanitiage? So thiiat if fashin
imptroves the arts, and multiplies the r-efmoe
mrents of human initerco~urse, it vet is a po
lific source of injustice and dishonesty.
A mrani of ton we must admit, is niot neces
rarily a dishonest person. But the natural
influence of the principles to which lie is
subservient, bears him powerfully towarrd
this destination of character. [Ie permits
himself to lie judged niot by whart lie is, liut

externrals.-IHis first duty is to shine. HeI
consents to be judged by the splendor of Ihis
plumes, and is comphlacenitlyV permited to
forget froim whom anid by whart methods hre
obtained them.
But fashion is most objec tionable because
it turns away the attention from the most im
portant duties of lifen. It strips hiumianity of
its most elevated sentiments. It haes e'ven
power to make mothrers unnatural. Th'Ie dear
little ones who should have dIrawn life from
the maternal hosomi, are committed to menii
als. TIhe precious immnortals who should
have heard of God and heaven fr omi maternal
lips, arid seen the living pattern of religioni in
its most saintly form-thre mnaternral exampnl'e
-are neglected withn a cruel indifference.
Hlome ceases to be homne. It is ime.rely a

it is anythring rather than thre " Home, sweet 1

Slave Emigration.
There have been meetings held at Inde
pendence and Westport, Missouri, to coun
teract the emigration from the free States
into the new territories, by slave emigration.
The St. Louis Republican publishes the
resolutions. Those of the Westport meet
ing are as follows:
Having recently. received intelligence of
the prssage of a lill by Congress for the
organization of the Territories of Kansas and
Nebraska, repealing the Missouri restriction,
and opening said Territories for settlement
equally to all the people of the Union; and
feeling a deep and lively interest, especially
in tie speedy occupation of our border Ter
ritory of Kanisas, and the organization of a
government in it, and the passage of laws
which shall protect emigrants from every
portiorn of tihe country in the possession and
einjoyment of their property, of whatever
character; and having heard, through the
public papers, that organizations are now on
foot in 'some of (lie Northern States, having
fr their object the colonization of the new
Territories exclusively with eastern and for
eign paupers, with a view directly to exclude
and deter from the said Territories emigra
tion from the Southern States, and more par
tieularlv slave emigration from Missouri and
Arkansas; aird having also heard of a recent
attempt of a ganig of Freesoilers, who held
a- meeting within this Territory, and auda
cioumnly resolved that no slave property should
be brought into the same ; and being our
selves, iany of us, determined to seek in
Kansas our future homes, and to carry with
us our property of every description which
we think proper; and being determined to
hold and enjoy the same in peace or by
force, we hereby organize ourselves into a
socicty of Missourians, for mutual protection,
and
" 1. Resolved, That we invite all well
disposed citizens, from wherever they mlay
come, but iore especially our fellow-citizegs
of the slave holding States, to unite with us.
" 2. Resolved, That we will afford to each
other mutual protection in claming and
holding lands in Kansas Territorv; that we
wvill nlot encroach upon the clhins or rights
of each other, nor will we allow any intru
ders to do the same; that until the ountry
is surveyed no laimn shall lie made nearer
to any other than half a mile, securing to
each settier a quarter section of land, and
that we will protect and defend the claim of
each and every individual of this organiza
tion, which imay lie staked off and d-signated
ly the claimant in good faith and with a view
to actual settlement.

that we will hold and enjoy the same ; that
we will do so peacefully, and deprecate any
necessity for resoI ting to violence in support
of our just and lawful' rights; yet (in no
spirit of bravado and with the strongest
wish for peace) apprehensive of interference
with our private and domestic concerns by
certain orgaiized hands who are to be ire
cipitated upon us, we notify all such that
our purpose is firm, to enjoy all our rights,
arid to imeet with tire last argument all who
shall in any way infringe upon them.
"4. Resolved, That we recommind to
our fellow-citizens of Missouri and Arkan
S:ms. miiore especially ot the border counties,
to organize with these ends in view; and to
each and every man who feels an interest in
the destiny of the future State of Kansas, to
lie on the alert, that we may avail ourselves
of the great adlventages wvhitch the contiguity

arid e-ntitles us, in monldinng thre government
arid institutionrs of the future State in accor

"5. Resolred, That the thanks of thlis

A New Southern Political Orgniza.n
tion.
We have every reason to believe that it is
now the settled purpose of the -whigs of thi
South in Congress, who are opposed to the
affiliation with Northern whigs who are'ei
ther for a repeal of the fugitive slave law or
pronounce the repeal of the Missouri com-.
promise a gross outrage, to agitate for th,
formation of a new Southern party, based
upon a refusal to affiliate in any way what
ever with any man or party whatever, tinc
tured remotely or directly with freesoilism.
They allege' that the national organization
of democratic party aids, abets, and sustains
to a certain extent, the democratic freesoil.
ers, in acknowledging them to be a-wing of'
the great democratic organization of the'.
country; and they further, doubtless, intend
to argue to their respective constituencies,
that they should no longer send democrats
to Congress, unless under a pledge thatLthey
will wash their hands clear of all such as-.
sociations. Above, we present .the points
upon which the new party are to go -before
the country. The end of their movement
cannot yet be foreseen, though its success
can hardly fail to be very much in the pro.
portion in which Northern democrats identi-.
fy themselves with the cause of the repeal
of the fugitive slave law.
We clip the above from the Washington
Star. We regard the rumored. movement
of the Southern whigs as a good one. It is -
high time that the peop!e of the South were
more perfectly united-that all political dif.
ferences, which have heretofore divided them
and which exist more in name than in reali
ty, should be merged in fraternal union and
a sectionil defence of their constitutional
rights, and especially their peculiar institu.
tion-that party lines should be obliterated
forever, aiid our people rally around a com
mon standard prepared to contend " to the
death" for their rights in the Union, or'a
separation, a final and complete separalion
from those who seek to destroy us. The
Whigs and Democrats of the South are more
clo'ely affiliated in interest thin the wings
of either party in the two sections ofr'the
Union. The Democrats of the North-a
large majority of them-are farther removed
in principle, above all, in fraternal feeling
and interest, from the party of the same at
the South than are the most ultra Whigs of
our section. There should, therefore, be a
general fusion of two parties with us-an
obliteration of nl party differences. Our,
enemies are many and fierce, thirsting fi
our life.blood. We should be unite.."
